    You could pop the door panel off and see if the upgrade JBLs are there. I was fine with my factory door speakers and just decided to swap them out for a name brand since they were reasonably priced and the difference is pretty substantial even when not running an amp to the new speakers.

    Removed the white paint on the "4x4" mudflaps. Figured it was wearing off anyway plus I like the all black look. Like everything on my Tacoma, it's the subtle things that make people say "there is something different, just can't put a finger on it."

    I am so glad you posted this- mine has been cranking longer and longer. Unnoticed a few days ago that the wire connecting this is exposed/ frayed. I had no idea what it was and have been meaning to look it up. How much did the new resistor run you?

    50,000,000% upgrade by only replacing the speakers. They're the only OEM part you can feel good about punting into the nearest landfill. I could turn my volume up to max and still have a convo without lifting my voice. Ridiculous.

    Sucks because I just did an alignment last week, have to replace SPCs with these this week and do another alignment, and my rack is leaking so I have to do ANOTHER alignment when I replace that.

    Are you guys taking a brush to the truck or just foaming and rinsing? I'm an avid washer/detailer with a respectable arsenal of chemicals and products but this is new to me.

    Foaming and rinsing will remove a lot of dirt. I foam and hand wash when I have time. Foam Canon does a great job.
